Might the Asians know something the rest of the world doesn’t? Sounds highly unlikely, yet you can’t really accuse the seller of desperation for free publicity. For crying out loud, they’re the largest name in the local business, ranking number 62 in overall domestic online traffic, according to Alexa.

Still, what makes this whole thing smell particularly fishy is The Giodidong feels no reluctance in laying out the entire list of features for the “Nokia X”, including support for Google’s full range of services. You know, Google Play, Search, Now, Gmail, the works.

But is that in the least possible with all the tweaks Nokia plans for Android? It’s definitely a long shot, but never say never. After all, it may be wiser for the Lumia and Asha makers to give the devil his due rather than, say, build an app store from scratch.
